Under the bipartisan election competition-rotation system in the United States, the four-yearly presidential election is the focus of competition for power, while the mid-term elections (middle of the presidential term) re-elect some senators, all congress representatives, some governors, state legislators, and judicial personnel.

The Western democracy advocating one person one vote and placing individual freedom and rights on the highest pedestal has an intrinsic flaw that is the political system tends to divide the society.
